3.6.1 Working area

 Before starting work be familiar with the working environment, e.g. the bear-

ing capacity of the soil or obstacles in the environment.

 Make working area to public transport safe.

 Secure the working area from the public transport area.

 Keep working area tidy. Cluttered or poorly lit areas may lead to accidents.

 Working with this machine in a potentially explosive environment is prohibit-

ed.

 Keep children and other people away when operating this machine. Distrac-

tions may lead to loss of control of the machine.

 Always secure the machine against tipping, rolling, sliding and crashing. Risk

of injury!

3.6.2 Service

 Only allow the machine to be repaired or maintained by qualified technically

trained personnel.

 Use only original spare parts and accessories. The operational safety of the

machine is thus maintained.

3.6.3 Personal safety

 Working under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication can lead to seri-

ous injury.

 For all work appropriate protective equipment should be worn. Appropriate

personal protective equipment reduces the risk of injury considerably.

 Remove tools before the machine is put into operation. Tools on a rotating

machine part can be ejected and cause serious injury.

 Always ensure stability.

 After prolonged working with this machine, vibration-induced long-term dam-

age cannot be ruled out completely. For exact values for vibration measure-

ment, see chapter Technical data.

 Wear appropriate clothing. Keep baggy or loose clothing, gloves, jewelry and

long hair away from moving/rotating machinery. Danger of being pulled in!

 Ensure that no other individuals are in the danger zone!

3.6.4 Handling and use

 Handle machines with care. Do not operate machines with defective compo-

nents or operator’s controls. Immediately replace defective components or

operator’s controls. Machines with defective components or operator’s con-

trols carry a high risk of injury!

 The operator’s controls of the machine shall not be improperly locked, manip-

ulated, or changed.

 Store unused machines out of the reach of children. Machines may only be

operated by authorized personnel.

 Use the machine, accessories, tools etc. in accordance with these instruc-

tions.

 After operation, store the cooled machine in a locked, clean, frost-protected

and dry location that is inaccessible to other people and children.

3.7 Specific safety instructions - vibratory plates

3.7.1 External influences

The vibratory plate must not be operated in the event of the following external

influences:

 Heavy rain on inclined surfaces. Slipping hazard!

 Oil field environments - methane leaks from the soil. Explosion hazard!

 In dry, flammable vegetation. Fire hazard!

 In potentially explosive environments. Explosion hazard!

3 Security

100_0202_si_0006.fm 17

3.7.2 Operational safety

 During operation of the machine ensure that no gas, water or electric lines or

pipes are damaged.

 The machine must not be used in tunnels or within closed areas in operation.

 Pay the utmost attention near drops or slopes. Falling hazard!

 The intended operator's position is behind the center pole, do not leave while

the unit is operational.

 Do not allow the machine to run unattended. Risk of injury!

 Demarcate work area spaciously and keep unauthorized persons away. Risk

of injury!

 Operators this machine must ensure that persons who are present in the

work area comply with a minimum distance of 2 meters from the operational

machine.

 Do not use start help sprays. They can cause misfires and engine damage.

Fire hazard!

 When operating the machine on sloping surfaces, always approach gradients

from the bottom and always stand above the machine on a slope. The ma-

chine could slip or tip over.

 Do not exceed the maximum permissible tilt of the machine - possible loss of

engine lubrication, see ChapterTechnical data.

 Only Wacker Neuson use starter batteries. These are vibration proof and

therefore suitable for the high vibration exposure.

100_0202_si_0006.fm

3.7.3 Safety distances

Compaction work close to buildings can cause damage. For this reason, all po-

tential impacts and vibrations have to be tested on surrounding buildings in ad-

vance.

The relevant rules and regulations for measuring, evaluating, and reducing vibra-

tion emissions — especially the DIN 4150-3 — must be considered.

Wacker Neuson accepts no liability for any damage to buildings.

3.8 General safety instructions - combustion engines

The following instructions must be adhered to:

 Before starting work, check the engine to ensure there are no leaks and/or

cracks in the fuel lines, tank, and fuel cap.

 Do not use a defective engine. Replace damaged parts immediately.

 The preset engine speed must not be adjusted. This could lead to engine

damage.

 Make sure that the exhaust system of the engine is free of debris. Fire haz-

ard!

 Switch off before refueling the engine.

 Use the correct fuel type. Fuel must not be mixed with other liquids.

 For refueling, use clean filling aids. Do not spill fuel; wipe up any spilled fuel

immediately.

 Engine must not be started near spilled fuel. Explosion hazard!

 When operating in partially-enclosed spaces sufficient ventilation must be

provided. Do not breathe in exhaust fumes. Poisoning hazard!

 The engine surface and exhaust system can quickly become extremely hot.

Risk of burns!

Notice: This machine is equipped with an EPA-certified engine.

Adjusting the speed influences the EPA certification and emissions.

Adjustments to this engine may only be carried out by a professional.

For more information, contact the engine manufacturer or the Wacker

Neuson contact partner.
